I normally get between 26 and 28 mpg.

I think it's really good, I had a mini cooper S and that only managed about 24

Filled up before I went, got back and the light just after halfway went out at 200 - had been off the motorway, stop starting etc so it had the chance to regulate itself etc...

You should be boasting about how you got 85 miles out of half a tank like I did the other day

Got an injection when I was in secondary school, never had to worry about it since.

Pfft. That much. I managed just 65 miles from half a tank a few weeks ago.

31 mpg - 75 *ph average, 'making progress' up the A9

You guys must leave the hand brake on

(Most from tank - 310 miles)

... and I don't get through any oil

... and my rear tyres last 17,000 miles
